real men.

[look 171]

see how he get up top at about 7:15.

The scariest video you have ever watched in the name of science - YouTube

How the heck do they build those things up that high? What hoist the parts up there, helicopter?

[svandamme]

My palm were sweating as I watched him get to the top. Couldn't believe he would put the hook on the foot pegs and not the center pole at he was climbing the last 60'.

No amount of money would be worth me ever doing that. But I suppose maybe they look at like it really doesn't make any difference if you fall 1700 ft or 100 ft. you are going to be just as dead so they may as well make the obscene amount of money that they are making for doing such foolish things.

[Hard-Deck]

NAFOD is the term we use: No apparant fear of death.

[Gooch1971]

I thought my BIL that services wind turbines was nuts until I watched that video. There is nothing that would make me climb the tower in the video...Nothing.

[911SauCy]

I just puked on my I-Pad...

Nauseating work...must be like heaven once you're up there.

Screw harness tie-downs. A PARACHUTE WOULD WORK BEST!

[livi]

I could not even watch it. Really sick to my stomach.

[stuttgart46]

Extra large attachments there.
Couldn't do it.

[74-911]

Climbing it is bad enough but who really had the big brass balls are the guys that erected it?

[VaSteve]

Next time I have poor cell reception, I'll have to remember this. I'm glad we have people that want to do this kind.of work.

[911boost]

Dude. No.

How much $ do they make?

[lane912]

ok lets go-

[matt f]

Same mold, slightly different batch as the Isle of Mann racers. Both, IMO, are friggin' studs.
Quick question, why the helmet?
Kind of like pissing on a refinery fire.
